					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Faced with Democratic opposition over a national election integrity bill, House Republicans are upping the ante instead of reflexively making concessions.</p>
<p>They passed the SAVE Act in April by a vote of 220-208, with all Republicans voting yes and all but four Democrats voting no. That bill would require proof of citizenship for all new voter registrations.</p>
<p>Two of the Democrats who voted yes, U.S. Representatives <strong>Vicente Gonzalez</strong> and <strong>Henry Cuellar</strong>, represent South Texas border districts.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/02/only-citizens-voting-isnt-jim-crow-its-democracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p>If the national media can be counted on to spin anything dramatically toward the Democrats, it&#8217;s a government shutdown. They feel passionately that the Democrats are the Party of Government, and the Republicans are the Haters of Government, so who naturally favors shutting it all down?</p>
<p>Even before the shutdown occurred, NPR and PBS issued their poll warning Republicans would get more of the blame than Democrats. That&#8217;s why those partisan hacks deserved defunding.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/shutdown-spin-how-the-media-always-blames-republicans/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>The Democratic Party is having an identity crisis. To win elections, it must pose as moderately liberal. It is anything but.</p>
<p>The rise of Muslim/socialist <strong>Zohran Mamdani</strong> as the Democratic nominee for mayor of America’s largest city shows how far left the party has plunged.</p>
<p>New York City voters may yet reject Mr. Mamdani, but he is favored right now to win in November. That would saddle the Big Apple with a functionally Islamic/communist regime.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/09/liberty-or-tyranny-the-lefts-mask-has-slipped-2025/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>Gay marriage was not just a step down the slippery slope toward today’s transgender dystopia. It was the first manifestation of it. Now that a broad reawakening has exposed the harms of gender ideology and the denial of natural law, Republicans must press beyond protecting women’s sports and opposing child castration. They must return to the root of the problem: the redefinition of marriage itself.</p>
<p>Marriage is the foundation of human civilization, not a mere “social construct.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/09/how-gay-marriage-made-todays-gender-madness-possible/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Democrats are circling the wagons, warning that President Trump and fellow Republicans are out for “revenge.” They are counting on the media to misrepresent any attempts at accountability and justice.</p>
<p>People need to be held responsible for the Biden administration’s lawlessness, especially for the bald-faced deception over President Biden’s mental decline. Somebody other than Mr. Biden has been running the country into the ditch for the past four years, and Americans deserve to know who it was.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/democrats-and-the-liberal-medias-grand-deception-merits-justice-not-vengeance/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>U.S. Senator <strong>Josh Hawley</strong> (R-MO) is publicly expressing his concerns about the security provided to former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and the multiple failures of the security detail at the Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. According to information provided by whistleblowers to Hawley, the majority of security personnel at the event were <em><strong>not</strong></em> from the U.S. Secret Service, but rather from the Department of Homeland Security&#8217;s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) team.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/u-s-senator-josh-hawley-on-security-failures-at-trump-rally/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the same week that a 13-year-old girl was raped by recently released illegal immigrants, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> unilaterally and illegally granted amnesty to more illegal immigrants. Republicans have no better issue, timing, or political opportunity to engage in a government funding fight. Why does U.S. House Speaker <strong>Mike Johnson</strong> (R-LA) refuse to draw a line on September 30 funding? And why is Trump giving him cover to sell us out?</p>
<p>Biden has flooded the border for more than three years.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/why-wont-mike-johnson-draw-the-line-on-illegal-aliens/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Imagine if Republicans were to seize a pivotal moment to engage in a sustained national debate over issues like inflation, crime, national security threats, and the costs associated with <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s border policies. No political analyst would suggest that Democrats could withstand such focused scrutiny on top national concerns where a supermajority of voters oppose Biden’s policies.</p>
<p>So, instead of avoiding a budget fight in September, why not confront it head-on?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/a-golden-opportunity-to-highlight-bidens-blunders-september/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Just when you think it’s all over and that America has gone over the edge, some good things are happening.</p>
<p>Let’s start with the ascent of U.S. Representative <strong>Mike Johnson</strong> (R-LA) to Speaker of the U.S. House. This has stunned observers who thought that pro-life, pro-marriage, conservative Christians were forever barred from such offices thanks to the left’s takeover of virtually every major institution.</p>
<p>The Louisiana Republican is being assailed, of course.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/11/dont-count-america-out-just-yet-2023/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Friday, Oct. 27, just hours after U.S. Representative <strong>Mike Johnson</strong> (D-LA) was elected speaker of the U.S. House by the unanimous vote of the Republican majority, CNN reporters <strong>Andrew Kaczynski</strong> and<strong> Allison Gordon</strong> posted the following: “Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of harsh anti-gay language.”</p>
<p>They went on to cite several editorials Mr. Johnson wrote in the early 2000s, when he served as a constitutional attorney for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a coalition of lawyers that has more religious freedom victories before the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/u-s-speaker-mike-johnson-actually-believes-in-5000-years-of-moral-clarity-and-common-sense/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The good news for Republicans is they finally elected a new speaker of the U.S. House of Representative, <strong>Mike Johnson</strong>.
